Are you going to try it? What is your use case? What are you hoping to do with it?

I'll be evaluating it as a potential default recommendation for new Linux users, and possibly daily driving on my personal home desktop (now Arch).

my general rule is to wait until at least the first point release or major update for any 'new' version of an os. so i won't be doing anything significant with trixie for a few months--just some testing on spare hardware similar to what it might end up on.

while i'm waiting for the new release glitches and bugs to get worked out, or at least identified, dietpi and lmde will get updated to the new stable branch. those will be my first use of trixie when the time comes. my actual bookworm desktop won't see an upgrade til next year some time.

Same here. I generally wait for the first point release.

However this time, I also have to wait for LMDE 7 which should come in September.

Shame that the Linux Mint is focusing on the Ubuntu-based version. LMDE, despite it's greatness, still feels like a "plan b".

that's because lmde is literally that.. an escape plan for when (not 'if', imho) canonical shits the bed.
